Cellulose wadding is a soft, fluffy material made from cellulose fibers, commonly recognized for its absorbent and cushioning properties. This classification would encompass a wide array of finished products where cellulose wadding is the primary or defining component. Examples include certain types of absorbent pads, specialized packaging materials, or single-use hygiene products designed for absorbency.

Within the broader grouping of "Other paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibers, cut to size or shape; other articles of paper pulp, paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding or webs of cellulose fibers," this subcategory differentiates itself by focusing exclusively on the material composition of the article. Unlike sibling categories that might concern coated papers or other general "other" articles, the defining characteristic here is the exclusive use of cellulose wadding.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on the confirmation that the article in question is indeed made of cellulose wadding. Careful attention should be paid to the physical form and intended use of the product to ensure it aligns with the inherent properties and common applications of cellulose wadding.
